Quality of Life of Aboriginal People in Canada: An Analysis of Current Research [Daniel Salée]

"The Institute for Research on Public Policy has launched a new research program on the quality of life of Aboriginal people in Canada. As the first step in this endeavour, this paper aims to take stock of the current state of knowledge of the broad issues related to the quality of life and well-being of Aboriginal people, of innovations that are ameliorating their living conditions and of the linkages between quality of life and governance in their communities. The paper also seeks, as corollary objectives, to identify areas where further explorations might be needed and to propose new directions for policy-relevant research."
